Problem overview

Some Lincoln MKX owners report experiencing frustration regarding the absence of a digital speedometer feature in their vehicles, particularly in the 2016 model. These owners emphasize the importance of having this feature and are hopeful for its addition through a software update. It has been noted that the 2016 MKX initially did not include a digital speedometer, which was incorrectly stated in the owner's manual, with plans for a correction in future printings. Additionally, some users have shared their experiences with other vehicles that allow toggling between digital and regular speedometer displays via steering wheel controls. There are suggestions that adding a digital speedometer to the Lincoln MKX may be possible through a software update, as some users recall being able to display digital speed using the right controls. Overall, while there is interest in this feature, discrepancies in initial specifications and user expectations have led to ongoing discussions among owners.
